The Marconi Research Centre - Great Baddow, Essex

This paper written in 1985 is a very detailed exposition of the research carried out within the Marconi Company, ranging from Marconi's own work in 1897 right through to the Marconi Research Centre within the GEC Laboratories. It shows the very wide range of theoretical and practical work carried out for the complete gamut of requirements presented by the divisions of the companies and many external organisations during peacetime and war and is a testimony to the complete capability which the Company possessed.
